Obi Wan, hands down. Though second place goes to Padme's midriff._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

I really liked Anakin in RotS, but was very indifferent about him in the first two. Padme was awesome in TPM, but derailed from there. Obi-Wan for me._________________

Really? I'm exactly the opposite. In Episode II he was kinda whiny, but not as bad as Ep III. But in Ep II he was really headstrong and overconfident. I guess I just don't like Anakin.

Obi-wan was consistently good and one of the best acting performances in the prequels.

Padme started well in EpI as a strong character, but declined over the next two. Which is strange because Portman has actually gotten better as an actress over the same period (even if I don't like most of her movies, the acting itself was good).

Anakin never hreally was a good actor in any of them (whether it be Lloyd of Christianson (Sp?))He was tolerable in ROTS, but if that's the best I can say, it not a great reflection on his abilities.

Obi-Wan. He's gonna take this by storm considering the acting jobs of Natalie and Hayden_________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

I know Portman has done several movies, what has Christenson done?

Padme was well written in E1 but, the writing was weak in E2 & E3._________________"Study art...", said Thrawn.

Haydyn Christensen did an excellent job in a movie called Shattered Glass. Honestly, I was surprised at what a good job he did, but I'm going to give him kudos when he's earned it._________________Roqoo Depot co-founder.

That one was awesome! Really both him and Portman are talented as heck, but in SW they were given nothing to work with and tossed in front of a green screen, its hard to perform that way._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

Which should only serve to highlight what a truly excellent actor Ewan McGregor is. He took that bad dialogue and made it golden. I know a lot of people think Ian McDiarmid was the greatest, but it's so much easier to play a bad guy than make a noble hero believable and relate-able. Both McGregor and Guiness accomplished that with Obi-Wan._________________Roqoo Depot co-founder.
